Title: Is height important?
Post by: Kiwi (Skippy) on January 08, 2008, 08:15:56 AM
Is height important to you when finding a partner?

Do you like taller or shorter people to you.

Franky it matters a lot to me, because I am a very very very tall woman, I like men taller than me. Making them at least 6 foot 2 and above. Shorter I don't feel comfortable at all.

My sister is 5'10" and shes the same, she wouldnt date anyone under 6'2 or 3
Luckily Im short at 5'5" so its never been an issue for me, long as he is at least my height I wouldnt care.

I'm 5'11, I don't think I would date below 5'5, just by preference. I prefer them tall.. I would even date a girl taller than me (assuming she would want to date me as well lol) My ex was 5'10, and she didn't like heels, so it worked out fine haha

Yep. Different tastes for different people. A lot of men like the long legs.
 I'm short and I prefer only 6 foot tall men and taller. My ex-boyfriend was 6' 4" and celtic, with beautiful green eyes and long dark hair. OK, he was a goth, so he was blond but dyed his hair black.  :laugh:

 :::D I knew the dark hair didn't sound right lol

Oh more G-dless chutzpah thinking that love has to do with the size of your legs... Where in Torah does it talk about a person's heart being measured by the size of their legs and spine?  Yeah, I am a muscular, but short man of 5,9", so I guess I understand Height rejection, but I am fine and happy with it.  How deep of a relationship can it be when you assess a person's spirit by how good you look in heels next to that person?  I thank G-d that I am free from worrying about height as a ticket to love.  If she is 6 feet and gives honor to G-d and lives a good holy life, I will take her to a 5foot 5 inch woman who is hateful, arrogant and unloving.  In reality, I see lot of big tall guys who look like cupcakes cause they never had time to grow spiritually and are just admired for their length.  A real man is weighed by his inner spirit that G-d gives him and his devotion to G-d and his teachings.   So many tall guys are in love with their height and the sex appeal and don't realize that if they ever lose their legs, the girls who so much craved their height will be looking for some other tall piece of  flesh to lean on.   So, I Praise Hashem for making me short, that I can see people for their true nature, not their sexual lusts and vain cares of flesh.

In reality, western women (Especially American gals) are more self-conscious and care about outer appearance than men do.  A man will date any half decent (sometimes not decent) looking woman who makes him happy, whereas a woman will demand he has proper height, weight proportion and please be tall dark, handsome.  Also, a clean shave is a must, which also makes it tough for a devoted Jewish guy, since women don't have to worry about this teaching.

The sad thing is, more Jewish woman than gentile woman turn me down for having a beard. I will find a woman who goes for a tall person rather than a hard working and faithful person.  Any mystery why we have a 60% divorce rate in America?  The most common line I hear from these women, is: "Well I wanted tall and handsome, but he ended up really being a @!#*.  Now I am a single mother, blah blah."

People just have different tastes.
The men I dated who were 6 feet tall or more just preferred short ladies. I didn't complain, being shorter made me feel protected by my 6'2 giant. He liked the feeling of being tall and strong while I was delicate and shorter.

Why does being 6,2 make you feel protected?   Some of the strongest men I saw at my gym where 5,1 and can bench over 800lbs.  Muscle fiber concentration has much more to do with the ability of a man to protect his woman   ::) , then length of his spine and legs.   I see so many tall popsicles walking around who can snap if you slap them on back to hard..  LOL..   Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris at 5,8 do not have any problems tearing apart men twice their size.

Post by: Yonatan777 on March 20, 2008, 06:58:26 PM
Yonatan777, lol, you're right!
But the men I dated in the past were all not only tall but really strong too, all but one "twig".
I felt protected when they hugged me and I was so small in their arms, I suppose. I liked that feeling, it would not be the same to hug a guy of the same height, they were a lot taller than me. And since I'm a short lady, I like that feeling of having a tall guy. But I do agree with you.

I am stronger than many men I met who are 6,2 or even 6,4..  Many of the strongest guys I see at my old gym are those short Mexican guys, who scare the life out of me and are strong as iron, despite being on average less than 5,8..   A lot of the tall yuppy caucasian guys I see were amazingly weak, perhaps not as much drive to be macho, since they already are popular.  Of course there are strong people from all races and heights, dedication is most important.  I think most people, especially women, misjudge the strength of men; as height is much less a factor than width.  The Great Gama of Pakistan, was 5,6 and an undefeated wrestling champion.  He defeated all his opponents, some who even were 7 feet tall.

Despite all this analysis on height and strength, I personally think at a spiritual level this is rubbish.  I will say if you judge and marry a man by how tall your children will be and how  much you can hold onto, I think you are a shallow person.  Please don't be offend, it just my spiritual observation of the manner.  Women and men have degraded each other into just sex and flesh toys.  Men are guilty of this like you, I know many men who will not marry a woman who doesn't have good curvature or breast size.  Lot of slim girls, who would be perfectly good mothers and wives also are left out in the dirt.   I am thankful I will not marry a woman who's main concern is the size of the children compared to the spiritual relationship we will have and that the children will grow up to be loving and righteous people.   

People in today's world are so shallow and concern with superficial things, no wonder divorce is skyrocketing and children grow up in single homes.  Once your beauty goes, so does the person who pretended to love you.

yes, but women don't get that.  (and some men don't either)..

furthermore, even if you are twice as strong as an average man, women wouldn't notice. As far as they are concerned, if you can open a jar, (or better, lift a suitcase), then you have the infinite strength of superman.   
It's just like, an ignoramous, cannot judge between 2 rabbis, so similarly, a woman who has so little strength, cannot judge between 2 people -so- much stronger than herself

they would notice in a clothless situation, if you look like bruce lee or stallone.  but by that time you would probably be married to her! Maybe if swimming or on a beach, but if that's the case, it's showing off!

I know. I must be the most shallow person ever  :'(. I'm really sorry about it. I just can't help it.


It is commonly in a woman`s nature to want to feel protected.   A psychological feeling..

It does show a sweetness and feminine vulnerability. Nothing to be sorry about!

Except she throws good men in the dirt, to get her tall man (neanderthal mentality) who runs away with another prettier girl and leaves her paying her own child support.  I see it all the time.  Personally, I like a woman being feminine, but she should give all men their chance to prove their spiritual and masculine selves..  A big bozo can just as easily ruin your life as I have seen many do their women, who just whine and cry how it could happen to them.  WHat do they expect?  They marry a big piece of flesh, not a human; its all eugenism, she says she needs taller children, not holier children.  My belief, and forgive me, as  I  could be wrong, is that if Mills had to choose between tall handsome non-religious man and short half-decent looking man who is spiritual and adheres to Torah and livese a holy way of life, she would choose the former.

At one time I was like this, before I came closer to G-d... I only wanted a very curvy, voluptuous woman with good body who was shorter than myself.  But when I had my awakening, suddenly I learned deeper meanings of the universe and saw how futile our carnal desire are.  This is what the wise men of the past spoke of, how many are fixiated on the tempting woman who has brought many down to Sheol..

Anyhow, religious Jews don't do so much pre-marital dating, so I know we are dealing with the secularized Jew, and most do desire the carnal, rather than the inner-most being that Torah teaches.   Love is spiritual bond, not physical so much, since we lose our beauty very quickly; we are all withering in the sands of time.  When our sweet blossom of flesh fades, it is less than the dust which remains.

How much do you weigh?  Women hate skinny men more, men with small shoulders and scrawny chests or women like breasts hanging down from too much junk food.  I have analyzed all this...

Once again its too bad us Jews have degraded ourselves so much like this as to worry about these rubbish things.  Some of the greatest Jews ever were not tall or muscular or handsome even.

  I think this is personal desire. or is that a sin if I think that height is important for me? maybe I want our kids to be tall too, so that height would not be a problem if they decide to play some sports like their mom.... ^-^

Well, women want to marry someone that they are personally attracted to as well.  Men want to also marry someone they are personally attracted to.  So a great Tzaddik who looks ugly sadly will have a hard time getting married to an attractive girl.  This is how things work.  Normal people are not blind.

It is only since the late 19th century that people have had the luxury of seeking a partner based on looks or even personality.

When living was harder (pre 1850), women HAD to seek partners based on their ability to provide and men HAD to seek partners based on their ability to nurture. I'm not saying looks didn't come into it, but they weren't number one priority.

If you dress well, bathe yourself, take care of your personal hygiene, and have confidence...Women will love you.

Theres another side to this.  What about tall women??

Personally, I don't like tall women very much.  I've always been at least a foot taller than all my girlfriends.. including my current wife.

But living in So Cal... everyone is short.  So at 6' 4", I feel like a giant.

Anyhow, a spiritual relationship and people who have good personalities is most important, that is what leads to a long relationship and good family.  People who say they need children who are over 6 ft so they can play sports; that is another boneheaded useless reason for a marriage.  Anyhow 60% divorce rate speaks for itself.   People are superficial..  They say tall people make it better in life, but as far as I can see, many short people seem to have made quite an impact on history.

Well there have been some very reasonable comments from both sides of this debate but reason is one thing and getting a meaningful answer is another...

-I agree with many of the posts here that smaller guys in general can be more dangerous and protective of their partners. I would like to point to the UK Paras who are invariably mostly all under 6 foot.- Mean as hell, in vicious little bundles of hate and discontent,-Thank f**K though- makes me sleep more easily at night :)

-However, it seems to be that most women are attracted to tall guys... I'ts possibly a physiological thing, stemming back from the good old pre-iron age in Blighty and Europe.

Either way..pls all you short asses dont have a problem with long asses cause we good people too!- Just born when meat was cheap.... ;D

Jack Nicholson is a multimillionaire, money is the most powerful aphrodisiac.
Being short doesn't affect your dating life unless you like tall girls. And 5'9 isn't short, it's average.
You said you're growing a beard.. I'm not Jewish, but if I recall correctly it's not a commandment to grow a beard. You can be religious without a beard. Shave it and see if you get any more luck with the ladies  O0

Jack Nicholson is a multimillionaire, money is the most powerful aphrodisiac.
Being short doesn't affect your dating life unless you like tall girls. And 5'9 isn't short, it's average.
You said you're growing a beard.. I'm not Jewish, but if I recall correctly it's not a commandment to grow a beard. You can be religious without a beard. Shave it and see if you get any more luck with the ladies  O0 

There is a commandment not to cut the corners of your beard.

There is debate as to where that refers to. But aside from that. To avoid a really odd looking beard, religious jews grow a full one.

seriously religious ones that is.  Less serious religious ones  don't bother with the beard..

But we don't use a razor..

5ft11 here myself, though I guess I could technically say i'm 6ft0 since i'm close enough. As long as the girls not a midget, that's all fine and dandy, tall women are fine but if I'm shorter than them, that just doesn't look very manly unless I grow a moustache or something

Yes... I had that same height discrepancy when I was first dating as well.  She was 5 ft. and I'm 6'4".   But my current wife is 5.'4" which seems fine.  But I look at my pictures with her family and I look like a freak.  :)

Women (generally) hate little men. Thank G-d I'm 5'11". :)

I beg to differ...
Most of my friends range from 5'11 and up, with the exception of two.. and those two get the girls. The rest of us are chop liver!

Jack Nicholson was 5,9.5 in his prime and his been with over 2000 women.   Not that i approve of that lifestyle.. Anyway, any dingbat who thinks being 5,11 makes him such a stud is a hollow brained person.  Personally, this whole thing about needing a 6ft man by their side is flesh worship; so shallow.  I thank G-d for being 5,9, because I would hate a woman to just love me for my height and use me as a just some brainless caveman to show to her friends, so she can look good in heels.  How shallow is that?  Another thing is, I have grown a long beard and now my sight is detestable to most American women, especially Jewish women.  Isn't it sad that my own Jewish sisters hate me for following Torah, yet some gentile women will think I am unique and interesting?  Many in my family wish to disown me for not looking like a gentile, they say I ought go buy an oxcart and move to a russian village.  Personally, I wish more Jewish men would follow Torah, grow their beards, wear Jewish clothing and stop trying to impress western women with G-dless ways of lie.  Most Jewish men dont grow beard today, just for fear of not looking sexy

I'm not sure about that, I don't grow a beard because it is itchy and difficult to take care of. Most of the women I have met don't really care about looks but moreso about personality. I think it's more hygeine related than anything, it's kind of like the moustache, people and style change but moustaches were big in the 70's and 80's by young men, but now you won't catch it on a younger guy because it is "not cool". A lot of younger guys still grow goatees and sometimes beards, but I think it's more a preference of what the women are into than anything. Not all women are the same, depends where you live too I guess.

I'm a lazy person.. but it actually takes alot of effort to let a maustache grow till it grows into your mouth. (and thus perhaps gets unhygienic).. so obviously don't do that. But it's easy not to.

There really isn't much to maintaining a beard.. It's much more effort to maintain your teeth. Or to wash yourself to remove body odour.  I can think of alot of things that are more effort than having a beard.. It's more effort not to.

I don't find it itchy either..  Maybe removing it is itchy, if you use and don't know how to use an electric shaver.

I just use a Mach 3 razor, it's the growing in part that itches I meant. Anyways, don't know too many Jews with moustaches in modern day, know plenty with beards though my dad had a moustache, but that was to cover up a nasty scar when my grandpas rottweiler bit him on the upper lip.

It depends on if we're talking about midget or something extreme. I don't think anyone's fooling themselves into believing they'd fall in love no problem with a midget or a 9 foot tall monstrosity.

As long as you're assertive and powerful enough in other ways, it will attract women who know a catch. And if they don't, well that says more about that person than the "vertically challenged person". ;)

actually very righteous religious jewish girls don't look for assertiveness

they look for somebody that is shomer shabbat, and keeps kosher, and the more religious the better(e.g. praying 3 times a day), and scholarly.
Only Confidence that matters is in judaism, knowing what to do.  And a livelyhood.

Less religious girls just look for a man that keeps his back straight and is assertive/appears confident. I had a friend that spent a long time with some rather immature non-jewish girls, he came to the conclusion that those girls wanted a trophie,  they want to be proud of him, a man that they feel can protect them.  He thinks all girls want that.

I have never met a woman, religious or not, who didn't look for an assertive, confident man. It's a trait all women find attractive. The man can be shomer shabat and humble too, but that's besides the point.

there are some very very righteous women that really don't prioritise that, if they even look for it at all.

they hear , he's a torah scholar, he's nice, he's shomer mitzvot. They say baruch hashem. They are not going to say "oh, but he's not confident/assertive". But they'll reject somebody if they don't meet the other criteria e.g. not scholarly, not shomer mitzvot, and of course, not nice. If he meets the stated criteria though, they are so happy. They won't reject that because he lacks confidence.

I know, most girls do look or assertiveness and confidence, and as a priority. But there are these religious girls, they are of a different mold.

one of my religious female cousins has lovely little things all over her room to keep reminding her of G-d.  It's so unlike regular girls, it's like the difference between an innocent angel and a pile of dung.
These girls are so sensitive to G-d, so sensitive to others, so religious, so full of thought of G-d, so innocent, but intelligent too.  They are incomparable to girls you find in non-jewish or modern orthodox schools. Personally, I don't know how guys think they are worthy of girls like that, it's crazy.

Only because heads are level.

I won't be too explicit, and it's best if it is not dwelt on, but suffice it to say that i'm sure that in some relationships with the woman alot taller than the man, the large height difference is intentional.  In that particular situation, the last place they would "seem the same height" would be the bed.
